The Significance of Open Access to Medical Records

This talk will focus on the benefits of open access to medical records on a national level – for both health professionals and patients. It will provide a short introduction to sundhed.dk (the Danish national eHealth portal) and move on to the big questions: Why e-health? Does it actually make a change? And if so, how do we implement it?
